New evidenced based hope .
Four years ago I began my education on Breastcancer unfortunately not by choice . Metastisis arrived in my second and third year , bone mets. Looking back I wonder about the treatment decisions I made . Bilateral mastectomy , chemo and rads .
As I believe everything happens for a reason , I met a magnificent twelve year survivor , who after pursuing conventional treatment with chemo and unmanageable side effects , informed her oncologist she was done with drugs , yet still needed the doctors support. She turned to wholistic means to not just stay alive , but to really live .
We meet twice a month as she came into my life as a massage therapist and is now my mentor and life coach . Literally life coach !
Through her introduction to essential oils , I am on a healing path. I would like to share an article regarding cancer and Frankincence essential oil . As well as a study .
- Above all, as she has offered me hope it is my intention to offer the same . Peace in chaos

Thank you for posting. Can you post more information? Let us know how long you have been using it and if you have continued with western medicine also, if so, what? In addition, what is the state of your cancer now (are you NED? What are your tumor markers?)
The life coach you mention, used the frankincense as an adjuvant therapy after she completed chemo and surgery? Did she use any other adjuvant therapies along with this?
Thanks again.

music lover ,
I have been using Frankincense since shortly after my re occurance so almost two years with my massage therapy . Now I use more often , I apply topically for pain , and injest by putting in capsules . Works better than 800 mgs of Motrin . I am doing conventional treatment (hormone blockers ) First Tomoxifin , then Aromasin , now Fazeldex I M . 1/21/11 was diagnosis , ER pos , 21 nodes .
We both uses other oils , eat well , nothing processed , no sugar, take liquid cal/mag, vitamin d , juiceing , and start each morning with warm water and lemon . I am a fan of essiac tea , trying Chaga tea now . Boosting our immunity in any way possible ! We also drink 2 oz of Young Living Ninja Red daily . It's made from Wolfberry ( rich in antioxidants and essential oils )
We both receive massages , meditate , yoga stretching , she runs , swims and bike . I walk a few times a week .
My last markers were a bit higher than I would like , 138 last month C A 27-29 . At my lowest 79 . I don't claim to have all the answers , just another trick in our arsenal.
Blessings to all

Thank you and best wishes.
I should mention that I have been using Protocel 23 in addition to femara (& monthly zometa and zoladex) and my tumor markers dropped to a normal range with the introduction of Protocel. I can't be 100% certain that it wasn't a fluke but my tumor markers were climbing for a few months but since Protocel they have been in a normal range. So far so good and I am praying I continue to have success with it, at least until there is a cure.

Thank you for posting on this thread . I shall try Protocel ! At this point why not . Wishing you well .
